In the evening, I read bedtime stories to my children. The one that impressed me most was "The Fulfillment of Wishes".
The author of "The Fulfillment of Wishes" is Rabindranath Tagore. It mainly tells the story of his father, Suba, and his son, Suxi. One wants to become smaller, the other wants to grow older, and their dream is to become the other's age. Old Suba wants to go back to his childhood, saying that he will not waste time and study hard; little Su Xi wants to be a free adult like his father, who does not need to go to school and can buy as many lemon sticks as he wants. sugar. The "Goddess of Wishes" fulfilled the wishes of the father and son, but unfortunately their lives became a mess and they were not as beautiful as they imagined. The father and son had no choice but to pray to the "Goddess of Wishes" to change them back to their original appearance.
In fact, why don’t we want to have the same wish as old Suba, hoping that we can become children, innocent and cute, carefree, without work worries, no financial pressure, and no trivial matters in life. Think about how free I was when I was a child. Every time I came home from school, I would throw my schoolbag at home. I wouldn’t even eat, so I would run to the acacia tree in the village. A large group of friends would gather around and jump rope, Rubber band jumping , shuttlecock , catching stones... Laughing and laughing, I reluctantly went home until it got dark. What a joy!
But there is no "goddess of wishes" in this world. As long as you "recognize the reality", you can't go back. There is no regret medicine in the world, you can only accept the reality. What I have to do now is to work hard, honor my parents, love my children, cherish everything I have now, and live every day to the full so that I will no longer regret it in my future life.
